A friend of mine owns one of these: (see link 1)
He'd played around with it, though. He put a little penguin jacket on it, sunglasses, and sometimes he'd stick a little fake cigarette in it's beak and we'd all get a laugh out of the smoking penguin.
Which led me to wishing there were more humidifiers
in novelty shapes like that: A sexy babe with a cigarette in her mouth, the Starship Enterprise with smoke coming out of the engines, A Charizard with smoky breath, a tropical Volcano, a jet fighter, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Though this isn't a really original idea, (searching around I did find this little R2D2 one: (see link 2)) I guess I'm just wondering why this hasn't caught on/why no one has taken advantage of the smoky effect to make something awesome.

The location of the fan control knob on that penguin
humidifier seems quite inappropriate. |
|

Search for "novelty humidifier" and you will add many more to that list. |

I think we're glossing over something quite significant here.
Where did "your friend" find a "little penguin jacket"? Did
"he" actually plan this, make little sketches, put
together a pattern, cut the material, hand-stitch it? |
|
| |
When you think about this, it is really a rather disturbing
thought. |
|
| |
you prefer your penguins naked I presume ? |

I'd just like one that lasts longer than 2 years. They don't make them like they used to. |
|
| |
It's a long time since I smoked, but my cigarettes
never lasted anywhere near that long. |

[Rayford] What? Sexy babes with cigarettes? |

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I own the kind of penguin humidifier depicted in link 1. The water vapor is only visible if you run it at full blast - I've done that for amusing effect, but usually, my penguin is a smoke-free. Still, good idea. |

The long winter evenings must simply fly by. |

Actually, I'd like a fully animatronic Pan's People humidifier,
with the humidiness playing the part of the dry-ice fog. |
